First Attempt Cutting Up the 1988 Corvette with the Eastwood Versa-Cut 60 Plasma Cutter

July 25, 2016 Banner, Metal Work

This was our First Attempt with the Eastwood Plasma Cutter. You get to have a good laugh about mid way through when some hot sparks landed in my glove 🙂

We were cutting up a 1988 Corvette Donor car that we needed the suspension to complete another project.
